[snmp] adding tests, minor fix to PR. [snmp] with new SNMP network check, we run test twice to collect results. [snmp] log network check exceptions, fix test. [snmpd-test] add a sleep parameter to ensure interval >= 1

This is just a minor touch-up to #1331 by @chrissnell - adding tests and raising an exception in the event of a bad
forced_type.PR summary by @chrissnell:
Add support for forced SNMP data types to help w/ buggy devices
Some SNMP-enabled devices return incorrect data types when certain OIDs are queried. The F5 1600LTM load balancer is an example of such a device. This PR allows for the forcing of data types (to 'gauge' or 'counter') in the event of an incorrect response from the remote agent.
It adds a parameter to the metric definition on the YAML, 'forced_type'.
NOTE: The changes in this PR were tested in a back-ported version of this improved snmp check that Datadog provided me. The check patched here is from a newer version of the agent that I don't have any easy way to test right now. The changes are the same between the versions and it should work but I have no way to test.
